iDream about the iPhone

In my dream last night I saw the iPhone. I saw it in all it's majestic splendour. And what's more I saw the unseen right side and what it has.

In my dream the right side of the iPhone has a small slit close to the top where the SIM card or a Card or some sort is inserted.

It's a small rubbery covering that can be easily flipped back to allow access to removing or inserting the card. It was of the same colour as the Mac or MacBook. I remember browsing the net with Safari and how seamless and quick it was. Typing on the new keyboard was a breeze after a few minutes. How everytime I pulled it out, some of the hottest chicks would stop, glance and throw a smile my way. The iPhone gave me studded power.

I walked and looked at the long lines, people queuing up from the day before. Waiting in line...anxiously awaiting their hands on their own iPhone. But there are no pre-orders....even Jesus wants one and has to wait in line. So you know it's a must have item. Jesus risks losing his job and being returned to Mexico..but he waits. We admire you Jesus.

It was a short dream, but I remember dreaming it.

Blackberry Ban

One strike for the BlackBerry

This past week the French government has banned the use of the Blackbery device in the President's and the Prime Minister's offices amidst concerns that the emails and other valuable information can be intercepted and hacked by Americans. This is so because the data is transferred through American and UK servers.



However the maker of the Black Berry RIM has responded saying that their device is one of the safest there is, even safer than some online banking networks.

So what does this ban mean really? Well, from one speculation it's the raising of concerns of security that has faced such devices. It also opens up an interesting debate which I will be following and posting on.

The Secret of the iPhone's Right Side

For any of you, or the many of you, who have noticed that in every photo and even in the "iPhone: A Guided Tour" - the right side of the iPhone has never been shown. In the Tour video the presenter mentions the left side, the top and the bottom, but omits the right side.

Most all smart phones, even the not-so-smart phones have function buttons on the right side. What is on the right side of the iPhone?

Today I had a chat with an Apple rep. and I posed the question to her. Her response, "we'll just have to wait and see." What do you think is there?

If any of you guys who are reading this know, please fill me in.

iPhone Battery Promises the Best Performance

In the article iPhone Delivers Up to Eight Hours of Talk Time Apple revealed that the iPhone now has
* 8 hours of talk time (4 hrs nearest competitor),
* 250 hours of Standby Time.
* 6 hours of Internet Use,
* 7 hours of Video Playback and
* 24 hours of Audio Playback.

This shows that the battery life of the iPhone is much more resilient than expected. Some people said that this would be one of the flaws in the much anticipated iPhone, but this release lays those concerns to rest. Hell, it puts it to rest all together. And it could only get better from here.



In addition the article goes on to compare the iPhone with some other smart phones like the BlackBery and Palm Treo and the specs completely outshine those other smartphones.

From the looks of things Steve Job's modest target of selling 10Million iPods by end of 2008 is far short of what demand is expected to be. Reports show that there are over 19Million people expressing the desire to obtain the iPhone at the stated $500 and $600 price tag.

The iPhone coming to an AT&T and Apple Store near you June 29th, at 6pm Eastern Time.

iPhone Release Date

Apple has finally announced the date for releasing the iPhone in the US. June 29 is the magic date for this most anticipated, long awaited, most desired product from Apple.

There are waiting lists as long as the blocks in Manhattan of persons trying to secure their unit. Reports go that there maybe too few phones to satisfy the demand from the initial batch. Think Sony PlayStation. So folks maybe camped outside AT&T and Apple stores the night before with the hope of getting their hands on one.

But the release day is Friday so some people are going to be skipping out on work. So employers be prepared.
